1. An non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor system, the code comprising code to cause the processor system to:
- receive a start indicator configured to trigger capture of a plurality of real-time signals including an audio signal on the processor system and capture on the processor system of at least one of a visual-capture signal or a digital-image signal;
capture, in response to the start indicator, the audio signal on the processor system through a first input port to produce a first captured signal;
capture, in response to the start indicator, the at least one of the visual-capture signal or the digital-image signal through a second input port to produce a second captured signal;
detect a device type of a capture device coupled to the first input port;
detect a device type of a capture device coupled to the second input port;
compress the first captured signal based on a first compression variable and the device type of the capture device coupled to the first port to produce a first compressed signal;
compress the second captured signal based on a second compression variable and the device type of the capture device coupled to the second port to produce a second compressed signal; and
send, from the processing system, the first compressed signal and the second compressed signal after the first compressed signal and the second compressed signal are produced.

Abstract
A multimedia device includes input ports dedicated to receiving a real-time media signal and a processor system dedicated to capturing the real-time media signal. The processor system defines an embedded environment. The input ports and the processor system are integrated into the multimedia capture device. The input ports include an audio input port and at least one of a visual-capture input port or a digital-image input port.
